VALERIA

Oh crap. I didn't mean to slap him.

My hand moved so swiftly before I could stop it, the slap echoing through the room, shocking me as much as it did him.

I bit my bottom lip nervously as I watched him clutch his now-reddened cheeks.

My palm was still trembling from the heat of the slap.

Oh, what have I done? I wish I could turn back the hands of time. But it was already too late.

I couldn't deny the feelings his presence evoked inside of me, but slapping me for something that I was very guilty of didn't make any sense.

With my cheeks blazing in utter embarrassment, I turned on my heels and fled the office without looking back, ignoring his searing gaze poking a hole through my back as I left the office.

As soon as I slid into the comfort of my car, I gripped the steering wheel with all of my strength until my knuckles turned white.

"Fuck!" I muttered under my breath, gasping for air.

I couldn't breathe! The way he was so dangerously close that I could perceive the masculine c

    VALERIA"I thought you had sent someone to pick him up earlier." The teacher's words echoed in my head again, haunting me as I tried to grapple with what she had just said.No! This had better be a bloody joke! How was this even possible?! Who on earth took my son from school?!Blood drained from my face, and my heart thudded frantically underneath my ribcage in panic."No, I didn't!" I managed to croak out the words as my breath hitched in my throat.The teacher looked more confused than ever."But I thought that you knew about this." She added, furrowing her brows at me.I shook my head frantically in the negative."Who took him?" I quizzed."A man came to pick him up," she explained. "He claimed to be the boy's father. Dave called him 'father'."My eyes widened in utter shock as several confusing questions swirled inside my mind.A bone-deep chill ran down my spine, leaving me paralyzed in fear. I gulped.Had Reese discovered my identity? Or was Chase behind this? The uncertainty g

    REESEWhat on earth was Valentina Wilson doing at my house?I gawked at her in shock, blinking repeatedly as if this was a dream, but it wasn't. Valentina was indeed standing before me, but she was as surprised as I was."Valentina! What the hell are you doing in my house?" I croaked out the words from my mouth, still unable to believe my eyes that Valentina was really standing before me in my house, for that matter!She didn't answer my question, but instead, she shrieked, her voice a mix of confusion and anger."What am I doing here? What are you doing with my son? And whose baby is that?" She pointed at the boy in my arms, who was staring at her intensely, his eyes flaring with a strange recognition that I had never seen before.Derek shifted in my lap, cocking his small head to look closely at Valentina. Their eyes locked for a moment, and I could feel the thick tension crackling between the two of them.What was the meaning of this? What the hell was happening here? And what did

    VALERIA"Yes, it's me. I'm Valeria, Reese." The words tumbled out of my lips carefully, tasting bitter in my mouth.I watched the blood drain from his face as his mouth opened and closed erratically, like a fish on a hook, in utter shock.He blinked repeatedly as if I were a ghost and shook his head."Valeria?" He called out breathlessly, still unable to believe his eyes.I nodded slowly, with my heart pounding aggressively against my chest like the galloping of a thousand horses.Dave's grip around my leg tightened as he clung onto me while Derek stood beside Reese, his wide, innocent eyes flickering between Dave and me.Reese shook his head slowly, his brows pinching together as confusion stamped every inch of his face. He ran a frantic hand through his hair, still blinking repeatedly in utter astonishment."Are you Valeria? Are you truly Valeria?" His enchanting, deep green eyes glinted with renewed hope as he asked intently.I shoved a lump down my spine.Suddenly, all the concoct

    REESEI stared at Valeria, my mind a whirlwind of disbelief and regret. I couldn't believe my eyes. So Valentina Wilson had always been Valeria all this while? How come I didn't know? I had been suspecting, but I didn't have any conclusive proof to show that she was truly Valeria Ashton, my ex-wife and mate whom I had banished.The image of the faint scar I spotted on her neck on the night of that party crossed my mind. Come to think of it, when I wanted to take a closer look at the scar, I was interrupted at the party.Deep down, I knew that something was strangely familiar about Mrs. Valentina Wilson. The striking resemblance between her and my ex-wife was undeniable.And not to mention the way my wolf always purred excitedly when she was near.Then, the child's shoes were in the front seat of her car, and the male child's clothing was picked up at the shopping mall, and anytime I tried to ask her about it, she waved me off. Now that all these pieces were coming together, I couldn't

    CYNTHIA I reclined on a chaise lounge, my eyes half-lidded, glassy from the drugs coursing through my veins. I sniffed the white substance through my nostrils, basking in the strong aura and energy shooting up my spine.This was my only escape. I feel absolutely nothing. No pain, no regrets, nothing at all! Just the sense of Dutch courage I could muster up from this substance. With trembling fingers to my nose, I inhaled the last remnants of the white substance. The drugs numbed my senses, shutting me out of the real world.The real world sucked anyways and no thanks to Valeria! That bitch would definitely pay for what she had done! All the embarrassment that I was forced to endure because of her!This was just the beginning. I was merely taking a detour. Yes, I would like to see it that way. All that crap about relinquishing my title as the Luna of the Blue Moon Pack was all a fucking a detour.My revenge plans were very much still in order, and we wouldn't give up without a fi

    VALERIA What a day! So many confusing thoughts and questions assailed my thoughts as I sat beside Reese in the hospital room.My heart thudded steadily as I watched his fragile state, my fingers lightly tracing the edge of the blanket that covered his still form. The beeping of the monitors was a constant reminder of how pale and fragile life could be. A twinge of pity wormed its way into my stomach.I shoved down a lump down my increasingly dry throat. My heart was a tangled mess of emotions—fear, worry, anger, and something deeper, more confusing. I clenched my teeth in annoyance.Damn it! I wasn't supposed to care this much. It wasn't part of the plan.I was so close.....I was so damn close to run into his inviting arms back then when he had apologised to me. Something in me coaxed me to accept his apologies.My child didn't even make matters any easier. When his tiny voice called him dad, I almost threw precautions to the wind and jumped into his arms.I may not accept Reese

    REESE I stirred, feeling the weight of an eternity pressing down on me. My eyelids fluttered open, and through the haze of disorientation, I recognized the sterile white ceiling of the hospital. The faint beeping of machines and the antiseptic smell, they all indicated that I was somewhere safe. My senses sharpened, and I became acutely aware of a presence nearby. It was Valeria. Her familiar scent, which was a blend of wildflowers and something uniquely her, enveloped me completely, drawing me in like a spell. I turned my head slightly and found her sitting by my bedside. As I looked at her, it was evident that her face was filled with worry and exhaustion. She was talking to someone in a low but urgent voice. "Why didn’t you tell me Reese could wake up any time soon?" she demanded. The edge in her voice was unmistakable. "I didn’t want to give you false hope," came the doctor's calm reply. "His condition was touch and go for a while." "I was prepared for the worst," Valeria

    VALERIA I walked up to my front door, and right now, the familiar creak of the wooden steps under my feet brought me a sense of comfort in a way. It had been a long day, and all I wanted was to relax with a glass of wine. The moon was just starting to rise, casting a silvery glow over the front yard. As I reached into my bag for my keys, my mind was already drifting to the peace of my living room. As I opened the door, a sudden pressure against my head jolted me back to reality. Cold metal was pressed into my temple, and a voice growled harshly in my ear, "Move, and you die." Every muscle in my body froze. My breath hitched, and my heart kept pounding in my chest. Slowly, I turned my head, and the fear I felt kept gripping me tighter with each fraction of movement that I made. My eyes met a pair of familiar ones, but the coldness in them was new, and it really chilled me to the bone. "Collins?" I whispered. The disbelief I felt was totally evident in my voice. He just smirked. The

    VALERIA And just like that, everything was beginning to look up for the better. Bree, Chase, and Cynthia were now executed, ushering a phase of new beginnings for the Blue Moon Pack. I couldn't be prouder of my kids for saving us times without numbers! With tears blurring my vision, I looked down on my kids, hugging us tightly, fighting the whirlpool of emotions threatening to spill over. They had saved me and Reese on countless occasions, and now, they had saved their grandfather, the former king, and Alpha of the Prestigious Blue Moon Pack, Marion. I couldn't believe my ears when he narrated that my twins, Dave and Derek, were the ones that appeared to him in a dream, warning him of the impending danger we were in and even guided him back to the pack he had lost track of. These kids were more powerful than I had ever imagined. They alone faced off Chase and Cynthia and even Bree. This was just another solid proof that the Moon goddess was always on our side. It had

    MARION The sound of the execution drum echoed in the distance, marking the end of an era. My heart felt heavy as I watched Bree, Cynthia, and Chase being led away to meet their fate. As they were dragged away, the sounds of chains clinking faintly in the distance. They were once part of my life—Bree, the woman I had loved so deeply, and Chase, the boy I believed was my son. But that love was a lie, a festering wound that had rotted from the inside. It was over now, and with their execution, I hoped to close the chapter on that betrayal. How did it come to this?! The weight of it all settled heavily on my chest. I never imagined it would end like this—executions carried out in the name of justice, and yet, there was no joy in my heart, no sense of victory. Only a deep, gnawing ache. I turned to face Reese. My son. My pride. And his children—my grandchildren. I had been apart from them for so long, but now, we were together again. Instead, I sought solace in the eyes o

    BREEI never imagined it would come to this. Banishment. Exile from the Blue Moon Pack. Fuck!I paced the cold, dimly lit hall, and I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms until it hurt. But the pain did little to calm the storm inside me. After everything I had worked so hard for, how could this be happening? My life's ambition, my every calculated move to ascend the throne, all of it now lay in ruins. The air around me felt suffocating, and my vision blurred with anger and disbelief. "Why?" I whispered, my voice trembling. "Why was this happening to me?"The answer was simple: they had found out. Reese's food. Damn it! How could I have been so careless? What a fool I’d been to let myself be caught like that. The footage was undeniable, raw, and vivid—it showed exactly how I spiked Reese’s cup of tea. No excuses, no plausible deniability. Just my treachery laid bare for all to see. And Marion. My husband. The man who had once hung on every word I said, whose loyalty I

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 110

    BREE When power corrupts you, it seeps into every corner of your soul, twisting your thoughts and poisoning your actions. It wasn’t immediate, not at first. In the beginning, it was ambition—an innocent desire to rise above my station. But now, as I stared at the reflection in the polished glass, I barely recognized the woman staring back at me. The effects of the black magic I’d meddled with had crept deep into my veins, making me easily irritable, my moods volatile. I found myself lashing out at the maids, the servants, even little Reese when Marion wasn’t around. Of course, I couldn’t afford to show that side of myself in his presence—not when I hadn’t yet achieved what I set out to do.I couldn’t afford for him to notice my change in behaviour, not when I was so close to everything I’d been working for. But it wasn’t just Marion standing in my way anymore. I had a far greater adversary, one I didn’t fully comprehend until it was too late.Reese. That child. The rumoured vessel

    BREE"Ahem!"A deep voice from the shadow almost made me jump.I was so blown away by the view in front of me that I didn't notice the huge king-size bed in the corner and a huge white-beard man clad in a luxurious golden robe seated on the bed, watching me intently.The Alpha! The famous Alpha Marion!!!My eyes widened in admiration and fear. He was... was there even a perfect description for a godlike Alpha wolf seated before me? He was magnificent! I had never had the honor of meeting the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack closely before. This was....surreal!I quickly fell on my knees on impulse and bowed my head, paying my respects.As omegas, we dare not stand on our feet in the presence of the Alpha and even look him in the eyes. That's how we're programmed to act anyway, but the ever-ambitious Bree had always craved more.People laughed, derided me, and called me a fool forever, believing that a beta talkless of alpha would look in my direction. Taking interest? Nah, it's never going

    BREEYou know that moment when you start hating your kids? Yep, that was the stage I was at right now.Or perhaps the dark magic was already consuming my heart, as the witch had warned.Maybe hate was a strong word, but I was indifferent, and I spent less time with her family. I was always locked in the hidden chambers, honing my dark magic skills, biding my time until it was ripe.It took me a long time, but I knew that I had to be patient if I wanted to achieve substantive results.It's been weeks since I've paid a visit to the witch, and ever since, I've been honing my skills and trying to follow the instructions she had given meticulously to avoid any complications to the spell. I needed the spell to prepare the portion that would inevitably eliminate my husband for good as the witch had promised.I was counting on her words...I had one goal in mind: to lay claim to the position of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. That's right. I was going to be the first female Alpha of the Blue

    BREEThen silence followed in fear that a man who was supposed to be long dead was standing right in front of everyone!The silence that followed his statement felt deafening, almost suffocating. My heart hammered in my chest, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My mind raced, trying to make sense of what I was hearing, but it didn’t make sense. How could he be standing here after all these years?I stumbled back a step, the weight of his words pressing against my chest, making it hard to breathe. “That’s impossible. I saw it myself. There’s no way you could have survived that.”Marion’s lips curled into a grim smile, his eyes dark with the weight of his truth. “I was kidnapped, Bree. Taken far away, to another pack. One so distant I didn’t even know how to trace my way back.”I blinked, shaking my head as if I could somehow shake away his words. But they clung to me, suffocating me and pulling me down into the abyss of realization.Kidnapped? Dumped in some distant pack? But I had

    BREEFor the first time in years, I felt true fear. My entire plan, the careful manipulations, and the decades of secrecy had suddenly crumbled around me in an instant.Marion’s eyes locked on mine, cold and unforgiving. His lips curled into a bitter, twisted smile. “You thought wrong.”His voice reverberated through the hall, deep and gravelly, full of unspoken menace. I felt the room shift, the pack’s attention snapping away from me and toward him. The murmurs grew louder, a wave of uncertainty sweeping through the ranks.“Your time is over, Bree,” Marion growled, his eyes never leaving mine. “I never thought you would go this far. But now I see... I see exactly what you’ve become.”I gripped the staff tighter, the familiar surge of power flowing through me, but it did little to quell the panic rising in my chest. He wasn’t supposed to be here. He wasn’t supposed to be *alive*.“You don’t understand,” I spat, my voice rising in desperation. “I did this for us—for the pack. You were

    BREEToday, victory never tasted so sweet.I beamed at my reflection in the mirror. I was clad in an extravagant, luxurious Victorian ball dress befitting of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. Everything was in order, and the fact that I would soon be crowned the new Alpha sent excited shivers down my spine.The day is finally here, and all my plans have been running smoothly till the very end.Oh Marion, if only you were still alive to witness my ascend to the throne... but that would have been a bumper to my plans now, wouldn't it?It was better I got rid of you to fulfill it. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here today.By now, Valeria and Reese, alongside their good-for-nothing twins, would have been eliminated by Chase and Cynthia as planned.A devilish grin curled up at the corner of my lips in jubilation.This was just the beginning of the new chapter that I had always wanted!How satisfying!!!A light tap on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.I adjusted my dress, smoothing it ca
